Movement has been an important part of my healing journey. Yoga helps me reset mentally while also supporting my physical health. Over the past 75 days I’ve been focusing on improving my wellness after some unexpected lab results, and staying consistent with workouts like yoga has helped me stay grounded. This yoga towel keeps my mat dry during workouts and the grip makes it easier to stay focused on each pose without slipping. For many survivors of domestic violence, rebuilding healthy routines like exercise can be a powerful step toward reclaiming strength and balance. Supporting healing, wellness, and survivor empowerment through the Souza Foundation.

Soft colors. Stronger woman. This is what rebuilding looks like.

💜 There is something about putting on a fresh set that makes you feel like a new version of yourself is possible. This mint green All In Motion set from Target has been a workout staple, and at this price point, every woman deserves to feel this good while doing the work.

And the work is not just physical. It is mental. It is emotional. It is showing up on the days when everything in you wants to stay down.

If you are in a season where getting up feels like the hardest thing you have ever done, you are not alone. Healing is not linear, but it is possible, and you deserve every resource, every tool, and every soft moment along the way.
That is what The Souza Foundation is being built for. For you. Follow the journey and support the mission.

Danielle, this one is for you!

After everything my body has been through, I forgot what it felt like to actually live inside it. Trauma has a way of disconnecting you from yourself. You move, but you don’t feel. You breathe, but you don’t feel alive.
Walking into your Inferno Hot Pilates class changed something in me. You didn’t just teach a workout. You created a space where I could slowly find my way back to myself.

Woman to woman — if you’ve ever been in a situation where you had to leave someone for your own safety or healing, I understand that kind of strength. The truth is, every woman deserves that kind of love and support.

You deserve to be as big as the Instagram women we follow. Your energy, your heart, your impact — it’s real.

Danielle, you are the reason I feel the best I have felt in 24 years. You helped put my soul back into my body.

You have played a massive role in healing my trauma, and I will never forget that.

This journey — and everything I’m building with the foundation — is about healing, empowerment, and helping women reconnect with themselves again.

And you are part of that story.
You deserve the world. 🤍🔥#hotpilates

When was the last time you did something just for you?

💜 There is something powerful about choosing a fragrance for yourself, not for anyone else. Not to impress. Not to please. Just because it makes you feel something good.

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez and Forever Mood Hard to Get have been on rotation lately, and every time the scent hits, it feels like a small act of reclaiming something. Your identity. Your femininity. Your joy. The little things that quietly disappear when you are surviving instead of living.

If you are in a season where even getting dressed feels like too much, start small. A scent you love. A moment that belongs to you. Healing does not always look like therapy and tears. Sometimes it looks like standing in the mirror, smelling incredible, and remembering who you are.

That is the kind of restoration The Souza Foundation believes every woman deserves. Mind, body, and soul. Follow the journey and support the mission.

🌊I’m almost out of my Saltair favorites—and yes, I’ve already re-ordered every single one. These body washes and SPFs have been gentle on my skin and kind to my soul.

Clean, effective, affordable—and for me, part of a ritual of healing and softness I didn’t always feel worthy of.

For survivors like me, building beauty routines isn’t just about products—it’s about reclaiming joy, scent by scent, step by step.

💜 A shelter gives you a roof. But who gives you back yourself?

Leaving is just the first step, and most people do not talk about what comes after. A shelter can offer safety in the most critical moment, and that matters more than words can say. But survival is not the finish line. It is just the beginning.

What happens when the 30, 60, or 90 days are up? Where does a woman go when she is still piecing herself back together, still healing, still learning how to trust herself again? Where do her children go when the toxic stress they carried inside an unsafe home has already started to show up in their bodies and their behavior?

That gap is exactly why The Souza Foundation exists. We are not just building shelter. We are building a healing community where restoration is the foundation, not an afterthought. A place where a woman does not have to choose between a roof over her head and the peace she deserves inside of it.
If this is speaking to you or someone you know, follow this journey. The mission is bigger than one woman. It belongs to all of us.

Maybe you woke up this morning and did not recognize yourself anymore. Maybe the weight of what you are carrying has made it hard to even get dressed, let alone believe that things could ever feel different. That is exactly where the journey back to yourself begins.

Movement has a way of reminding the body that it is still alive, still capable, and still worthy of taking up space. Six days a week, one rep at a time, the woman you lost starts to find her way back.

If you are in the middle of it right now, whether it is the chaos of an unsafe home, the invisible weight of trauma, or watching your children absorb a stress they should never have to carry, you deserve more than survival. You deserve restoration.

The Souza Foundation is being built for this moment. For you.

🏃🏾‍♀️‍➡️I got up early this Saturday and went on a 3-mile walk with 50 lbs in my weighted vest. It was time to level up, so I grabbed this CROSS101 Adjustable Weighted Vest (20–140 lbs with shoulder pads 🙌🏽).

Adding weight isn’t just about building muscle — it’s about building resilience. For me, working out is how I manage anxiety, complex PTSD, and now perimenopause. Every drop of sweat reminds me that I’m stronger than what tried to break me.

💛 I’m not just doing this for me — I’m doing it for the women I’ll be helping through The Souza Foundation. If I can carry this weight, I can carry them too.

This morning at 6 AM, Alexa and I joined Rahil for a sunrise workout, and it was exactly the reset we needed! 🌅💪

Using my Gaiam yoga mat with the Gold Mandala yoga towel kept everything in place, sweat-free, and extra comfortable while we flowed through our poses. The towel’s grip and absorbency paired with the cushioned mat made the session effortless and focused.

For survivors rebuilding strength, routines like this can be an important step in reconnecting with your body, reducing stress, and creating small moments of empowerment each day.

Creating a peaceful and safe home environment can be an important step for families rebuilding after difficult experiences.

A comfortable living space gives loved ones a place to rest, connect, and spend quality time together. Modular seating like the Sactional makes it easy to create a layout that fits real life, while the SuperSac is perfect for cozy moments, reading, or movie nights.

Right now @lovesac is having a 30% off sitewide sale from March 6 – March 22, which is a great time to invest in pieces that help make a home feel calm, welcoming, and supportive.

Supporting spaces where families can heal and feel safe again is part of the mission of the Souza Foundation.

📚✏️ As a college student, handwritten notes during lectures help me stay focused and actually retain what I’m learning.

This notebook has been one of my go-to tools for class because the lined pages keep my notes organized and the spiral design makes it easy to flip through lectures when studying for exams.

Staying organized with school is also part of creating stability and structure in life. For many survivors of domestic violence, rebuilding routines like education and personal growth can be an important part of healing.

Proud to continue supporting survivor empowerment through the work of the Souza Foundation.

For the past 75 days I’ve been focusing on my health after lab results came back with elevated numbers. Even though I work out six days a week, I realized healing isn’t just about workouts… it’s about what we fuel our bodies with.

For survivors of domestic violence, rebuilding life often starts with small routines that give us control again.
Meal prepping has helped me stay consistent, reduce stress, and nourish my body while it heals.

These glass containers make it simple to plan balanced meals and take care of myself even on busy days.

Every small step toward health is also a step toward healing.

Supporting survivors through wellness is part of the mission of the Souza Foundation 💛

💛 Cozy days are our favorite!

We’ve had our BigOne Sack and Sactional from Lovesac, along with their ottoman and wood table cover, and I can honestly say they’re worth every single penny! I love that the covers are removable and washable — perfect for a busy household with kids. We even picked custom covers to match our home decor, and they make our space feel so warm and inviting.

For me, creating a peaceful home is part of the healing journey — it’s what inspired The Souza Foundation, to help women and families build spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of love.

✨ Custom shampoo + conditioner

🤯 Who knew a portable fan could change the game?

Between long class days, no AC, and those lovely perimenopause hot flashes, this JISULIFE fan has been saving me.

It’s lightweight, foldable, and the battery lasts ALL day (up to 19.5 hrs 🙌🏽). Honestly, it keeps me from melting so I can focus on what really matters — showing up for myself, my education, and the women I’ll be helping through The Souza Foundation.

Sometimes the little things make the biggest difference 💕

🪬Healing looks different for everyone… for me, it looks like sweat.

Today was Hot Inferno Pilates 🔥 and it was exactly what my body and mind needed. My Amazon workout gear (biker shorts, high-impact sports bra + trusty Stanley cup 💪🏽) kept me supported the whole class — proof you don’t need expensive brands to feel strong and confident.
For me, workouts aren’t about chasing a “perfect body.” They’re about managing anxiety, working through trauma, and staying grounded as I walk through perimenopause. Every drop of sweat is an investment in myself — and in the women I’ll be helping through The Souza Foundation.

💛I went from 176 lbs to 136 lbs, but this journey has been about so much more than weight loss. Walking with a weighted vest became my way to heal, to process trauma, and to remind myself that I’m stronger than anything I’ve carried.
💛The vest helps burn more calories, builds strength with every step, and improves posture and endurance — but for me, the biggest benefit has been mental. Moving my body gave me space to release stress, rebuild confidence, and create a healthy outlet while navigating the hardest moments of my life.
💛That’s why I’m building The Souza Foundation — a safe place where women and children can begin their own healing journeys after surviving domestic violence. Just like this vest helped me carry my weight step by step, our foundation will walk beside them as they rebuild their strength and their lives.
💛If my story inspires you, I’d love for you to support this mission. Every donation helps us create a space for survivors to heal, grow, and rise again.

💜I’m still a work in progress, but these past two years have been about healing my trauma, breaking cycles, and finding myself again. Therapy changed my life. Going back to school gave me purpose. And now, I’m building a foundation to help other women heal, too. If you’re on your own journey, just know—you are not alone.

Hi, I’m Alana Moore, founder of The Souza Foundation—a healing village for survivors of domestic violence.

This isn’t just a project. It’s my purpose.
I met my abuser at 16. Pregnant by 17.
Trapped in a 15-year cycle of emotional, physical, and financial abuse.

I finally broke free in 2014, raising my kids as a single mother while rebuilding myself piece by piece. In that process, I realized:
Survivors don’t return because they want to. They return because they have nowhere else to go.

That’s why I’m building a safe haven—on 8 acres in California.
Tiny homes. Trauma-informed therapy. Financial literacy. Parenting support. Somatic healing. Real community. Up to two years of stability and care.

We are partnering with experts like Dr. Bruce Perry, grounding everything in neuroscience and real-life needs.
This is about ending the cycle—for good.

Domestic violence isn’t just a personal issue.
It’s a public health and systemic justice issue.

Let’s stop letting survivors fall through the cracks.
Let’s create real, long-term healing.
One life. One home. One future at a time.

Will you stand with us?
Follow. Share. Donate. Be part of the change.

Some women collect shoes… I collect beauty products that actually make me feel good.

🛍️ I just did a little Sephora haul and honestly, it’s giving self-care + confidence in a bag.

💋 Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb (Tramp Stamp Fantasy) — this is my THIRD repurchase, so you already know it’s that girl.

☀️ Ilia Skin Tint SPF 40 — shade 13.5 with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid + squalane. Lightweight, natural, and perfect for everyday.

🌸 Rare Beauty’s New Perfume (travel size) — sweet caramel, pistachio, and a touch of rose. Obsessed already, but I grabbed the travel size to see how often I reach for it before going big.

For me, makeup + beauty isn’t about hiding — it’s about shining. As a woman healing from trauma and walking through perimenopause, little luxuries like this remind me I’m still allowed to feel beautiful. And I know other women need that reminder too. 💛
